Program Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Texas A&M University-Central Texas offers a variety of courses in clinical work, research, applied psychology, and psychological theory. The program can be completed entirely online, and courses are offered in a variety of formats to promote student engagement and collaboration. Throughout the program, students will take some courses that include synchronous whole group meetings, others that include synchronous small group meetings, and others that include weekly independent work with meetings scheduled with faculty and classmates on an as needed basis. We also offer some courses on campus if students prefer to be in person.
Program faculty are researchers who are committed to excellence in education and have diverse backgrounds reflective of the broad scope of the field of psychology (e.g., comparative, cognitive, social, and developmental psychology).
Psychology majors have many opportunities to conduct research with faculty members exploring a range of topics including program evaluation, responses to trauma, exam anxiety, online learning, and more.
